There are 2 places to adjust from. (Top of the headlight and behind the headlight) I only had to adjust from the top of the headlight. You will need a long & thin Phillips screw driver.

Best way to do it is at night with your car parked on a level surface a few feet away from a wall. This will make it easier to get them nice an even

Here you can see the adjustment dial. Almost looks like a gear.

For those interested, you can do the same thing to make L/R for HID's the same level. They come from the factory with the Passenger side higher (to hit the reflective signs) and the driver's side lower (to keep out of oncoming driver's eyes). I prefer them to be the level Plus they have shutters that angle light to the passenger side of BOTH HID's _/ _/ as opposed to _/ -/

Is it the same method as what was posted above? I have factory projectors and have that you mentioned, driver side hid is far to low IMO.

you can also use a 10mm socket on the back side of the gear that is at the bottom of that indent, i just adjusted mine this way since i did not have a long enough phillips.
